Well a few of you know im going Turbo, well i finally got the money to start. I got a log style manifold, downpipe and, get this a CT26, ya an old MR2 turbo, all for $330. Ya ya i know the CT26 isnt a T3/T4 style I already have the retrofitter so I can use it. Next I will be getting the intercooler and pipping. Does anyone have some pics of they're setup in the 90-93 engine bay. I need some help cramming the pipes in. The pipping is going to be real fun to put in :/.

here you go, sorry about the daylight, but it's dark right now. Feel free to shoot any question about the turbo my way. And please excuse the grime! I need a new exhaust manifold gasket!
I had to remove the washer fluid tank (it's the yellow cap thing now - totally custom from a recyalable spice container. Much less capacity though...) to get the pipe through that hole.

oh yeah... I forgot to mention that. Yeah, it's in the trunk. Looks like you can keep the battery in the stock location, but you'll have to put the air filter right after the turbo. I decided to put it in the trunk and saw my AEM v2 intake in half and use it to put the air filter a bit away from the heat of the engine.

looking at the front of the car you may be able to route the filter back into the bumper routing it on the left of the radiator

Yeah, I'd definitely say a trans cooler would be a good investment.
